Since his arrival at Iberdrola, his focus on international expansion and his commitment to electrification as an essential factor in reducing emissions has led the company to invest more than €140 billion in renewable energies, smart grids, energy storage and new vectors such as green hydrogen, making it the leading electricity company in Europe and one of the two largest in the world in terms of market capitalisation. Iberdrola is today present in dozens of countries such as Spain, the United States, the United Kingdom, Brazil, Mexico, Germany, France, Portugal, Italy, Australia and Japan, and supplies energy to more than 100 million people.

In addition, its firm commitment to environmental protection and social responsibility has led the company to become a benchmark in the main sustainability indices. Iberdrola is the only European electricity company included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index since its creation and has been one of the most prominent electricity companies at the global level according to the Carbon Disclosure Leadership Index and the FTSE4Good. The company has also been recognised for its good corporate governance practices by the publications World Finance and Ethical Boardroom, and as one of the most ethical companies in the world by the Ethisphere Institute.

Selected in 2019 by Harvard Business Review as one of the five most important CEOs in the world and the first in the utilities sector, Ignacio Galán is convinced of the importance of promoting young talent and the exchange of experiences, cultures and knowledge as essential factors for the motivation of an increasingly global team. For this reason, since his arrival at Iberdrola, he has promoted pioneering policies that promote training, equality, diversity and inclusion.
